I finally got around to powdercoating some of the parts for my Megasquirt injection conversion. I used a Walmart GE $50 oven and media blasted everything a few weeks ago at my friend's place. Check out the pics. I kind of rushed it, there was some powder left over in the gun from a year ago and I didn't monitor the air compressor pressure close enough. Results are acceptable though (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) Took me 3 hours to powder all of this stuff.

I bought the powder and gun from http://www.columbiacoatings.com/ The yellow is super mirrow yellow. I still have to coat the injector brackets, fuel pump bracket, and fuel rails.

I really am interested in doing this .. so I am gonna ride this pony a little longer... a walmart ge 50.00 oven ... the walmarts out here don't sell applances that big.... you saying oven like a full size cook a turkey in it kitchen oven , right?

gas or electric .. does it matter?

I added pics of the oven.

Check it out. 110V, its a toaster oven. $50 from walmart. they have it onlne too.

it fits the intake manifold and runners perfectly. didn't drop any powder getting the parts into the oven. DO NOT use a gas oven. i'm positive when i was curing these parts something sparked on set off a little boom, the curing process produces combustible gases. u dont want gas.

mueller - i know i should have done a leak check on the intake plenum. i'll get it done eventually.
